</div>I'm going to go with Nacin on this and add in this idea: A usage of a<br>
deprecated call shouldn't be a cause for *rejection* in a 1.0 theme...<br>

The idea here is that if you eliminate a theme from being in the repo<br>
at all for relatively minor things, then you eliminate the incentive<br>
for the theme author to improve.<br>
<br>
Consider the audience. We do want good looking and quality themes, but<br>
we also don't want to make theme authors feel that the requirements<br>
are too onerous to abide by.<br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div>How is it onerous to test a Theme with Log Deprecated Notices, and implement the suggested function change? I argue that it is not at all onerous.</div>
